Did you know that kids can catch six to ten colds year-round?

I've never kept track, but that sounds about right. I don't think there was a single week this past winter when at least one of the kids was feeling under the weather.

They've put together a “Vicks VapoRub Comfort Care” gift basket valued at $450 filled with Vicks VapoRub along with some other favorite items to make children more comfortable. The basket includes a plush Little Giraffe blanket, classic children’s books and lullaby CDs. And don’t think they forgot about Mom, especially with Mother’s Day a few days away! They're also including a 100% cashmere wrap, some favorite soothing skincare items from L’Occitane and a manicure/pedicure kit.

For child:

The most requested "comfort" for several years now has been for me to fix a pot of Egg Drop Soup. Chicken broth, a bit of sesame oil, a little garlic and onion powder, a 'reasonable number of eggs' plus two or three, and the satisfied slurping is music to the ears! Two key elements: don't beat the eggs so much that the whites and yolk are too mixed; and get the chicken broth to a good boil, then set it to swirling as fast as you can then pour the eggs in fairly quickly (don't stir again until the eggs have set up) -- and take it off the heat right then and let the boiling broth cook the eggs "just enough".

Lots and lots of juice. Even if the vitamins don't make you feel better then the healthy juice will aid in your recovery. Also, with my kids we always gave warm tea. It soothed them and made their throats feel better if they hurt.

I make them as comfortable as possible. I let them watch their cartoons while they lay in their bed. They can pretty much have whatever they want to eat and drink. I pretty much just baby them. lol thank you!

The very first time, I had to laugh -- my husband's father's sovereign remedy for colds and flu was a hot toddy! It involved several tablespoons of honey, about twice that much lemon juice, and an ounce of hard liquor, all at a temperature about like hot coffee -- and surprisingly, it worked fairly well for both sore throats and achy muscles, and definitely helped the young ones get to sleep!!
